"...?!"
Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared before them,
Orochimaru and Kabuto instantly froze in place, completely dumbfounded!
'Wait...!'
'What's going on...?!'
'Kyo?!'
'Why is he appearing here??'
'Damn! We literally just got here ourselves...?!'
'And you found us already???!'
The two were left speechless, utterly stunned.
Especially Orochimaru.
Knowing Kyo's strength, his expression was extremely grim at this moment.
'It had been less than half a month since I left Akatsuki... and I was already found?'
'Was my luck really this bad?!'
...
At this moment, Kabuto beside him also had a very serious expression.
Although he had never met Kyo in person before, he could naturally recognize the Akatsuki red cloud black robe, since Orochimaru used to wear one.
Connecting it with the words Kyo had just spoken, Kabuto immediately understood the situation.
Thinking this,
He suddenly gritted his teeth and instantly stepped forward, raising his right hand.
Swish!!
A mass of Chakra immediately formed in his hand, as sharp as a blade.
This was his fighting style as a Medical-nin-
The Chakra Scalpel!
An A-Rank Medical Ninjutsu, by concentrating Chakra in the hand, one can cut any part of the body for further medical treatment, and can also transplant any organ.
But in battle, it was an extremely sharp weapon! The moment it cuts an enemy, it can quickly sever the opponent's muscles and veins, its power was very great!
Kabuto gritted his teeth, his gaze serious, and said in a deep voice:
"Orochimaru-sama... please go first!"
"I'll hold them off for you!"
"?!"
As soon as the words fell,
Before Kyo on this side could react, Orochimaru on the opposite side suddenly narrowed his pupils, gritted his teeth, and shouted in a low voice:
"Tsk... you fool, get back!!"
"You're no match for this guy! Don't go to your death!!"
It was rare for Orochimaru to get angry at Kabuto.
Not because he really thought Kabuto was stupid,
But because he was afraid he might actually die here today!
As a former member who had spent a few months in Akatsuki, he naturally understood Kyo.
Don't be fooled by the gentle smile on his face now, seeming very approachable, but the moment he makes a move, almost all of his techniques are powerful enough to defeat someone in an instant!
The terrifying power of those techniques, even Orochimaru himself wasn't confident he could withstand them!
How could Kabuto fight him?!
And at this moment,
On this side, after hearing Orochimaru's low shout, Kabuto, holding the Chakra Blade, was naturally stunned.
Before he could react, Orochimaru suddenly spoke again.
His expression was extremely ugly as he said in a deep voice:
"This guy..."
"Is the one I mentioned to you before, the one possessing a Dojutsu even more powerful than the Mangekyo Sharingan―"
"Kyo of the True Eye of the King...!"
"?!"
As the words fell, Kabuto Yakushi was visibly shaken.
'True Eye... of the King?!'
He immediately turned his head and looked at Kyo's eyes.
He saw that within those golden pupils, white wisps flowed like flames... incredibly magnificent.
At that moment, Kyo spoke with a light smile:
"You're too kind."
"I didn't expect my eyes to receive such a high evaluation from you, Orochimaru."
"..."
Orochimaru remained silent, his gaze shifting.
Back then, he had also tried to seize Kyo's eyes, but he couldn't even get close to him, let alone remove them.
So he had to settle for the next best thing.
Coincidentally, at that time, the newly joined Itachi happened to be seriously injured...
So, he thought he would take advantage of the chaos, exploit the weakness, and sneakily find Itachi, attempting to seize his Sharingan.
As a result, he failed again.
Due to violating the Akatsuki's prohibition set by Pain,
He had no choice but to flee far away.
But he never expected to encounter Kyo, this dangerous guy, again in such a short time.
"Haah..."
Orochimaru slowly exhaled, calming his mind.
Only then did he look at Kyo again, his gaze very sharp, and spoke hoarsely:
"I'm very curious..."
"Kyo-kun, how exactly did you find this place?"
"Logically speaking, under our intelligence plan, your Amegakure and Akatsuki should be facing a decisive battle with Sunagakure right now."
"Even so, you still have time to come and hunt me down?"
Orochimaru spoke slowly.
Hearing this, Kabuto beside him naturally became alert.
He had personally seen the Sunagakure's Anbu depart back then; the plan should have succeeded, logically.
However,
Hearing this, Kyo's face suddenly showed an ambiguous expression.
He slightly raised an eyebrow, looked at the two before him, and chuckled:
"You can't be serious?"
"You didn't really think that a mere Sunagakure... could stop me, did you?"
"...?!"
As the words fell, Orochimaru and Kabuto's expressions changed slightly.
But before they could speak, Kyo directly and flatly said with a smile:
"I'll be straight with you."
"Your plan has already completely fallen apart."
"On the very night the Sunagakure's Anbu infiltrated Amegakure, Pain immediately discovered them, and then all three Anbu Teams were wiped out by me."
"After that, under Pain's instructions, I made a special trip to the Land of Wind."
"While completing the military intimidation of Sunagakure, I also confirmed from them the existence of you two behind the scenes."
"So, I decided to come find you directly."
"Understand?"
"..." "..."
As Kyo's words fell, Orochimaru and Kabuto's minds went blank once again, dumbfounded.
'What... is going on?'
'Did this guy just casually mention intimidating Sunagakure Village with military force...?'
'Huh???'
'Single-handedly... intimidated an entire Shinobi Village?!'
'Is this something a carbon-based lifeform could do???'
A chill arose in both their hearts.
At that moment,
They would rather interpret it as the entire Akatsuki mobilizing, rather than him alone.
Otherwise, that would be too absurd!
After a long silence,
Orochimaru regained his composure, cold sweat on his face, and spoke hoarsely:
"Tsk, really..."
"Kyo-kun, we were at least former comrades."
"Did you really come all the way here just to hunt me down to the death...?"
As the words fell,
Kyo's expression remained unchanged, he spread his hands and smiled helplessly:
"Well, there's no helping it."
"Although I don't like fighting, I still have to complete the mission."
"How about this?"
"You just surrender, I'll take you back to Amegakure to report, and then you can escape on your own, how about that?"
Kyo stared at Orochimaru with an ambiguous smile, speaking in a suggestive tone.
"..."
However, after hearing this, Orochimaru's expression darkened.
'Huh??'
'Is this even a suggestion a human would make???'
'If I actually go to Amegakure, there's no way in hell I'll be able to escape!'
Orochimaru's gaze darkened.
He began to understand.
Although from the start, Kyo seemed to be joking around, saying unimportant things,
But,
He had no intention of giving up the hunt whatsoever...
That is to say,
This upcoming battle might be unavoidable.
Escape was impossible.
Kyo's movement speed, Orochimaru had witnessed firsthand.
Basically, it could be said that once he got serious, no one could escape from his sight...
Thinking this,
Orochimaru finally decided to use "that technique".
Although up until now,
his research on that technique was not yet perfect,
But through previous experiments, he could already successfully release it.
Although Orochimaru didn't want to expose this technique prematurely,
But now,
If he didn't use it... he had no chance of defeating Kyo!
At this moment,
He could only risk everything!
Thinking this, Orochimaru slightly raised his eyes, his gaze shining as he looked at Kyo, grinning:
"Kyo-kun, it seems today,"
"We must determine who is superior, after all."
"Then, next..."
"Please enjoy well, the ultimate forbidden technique created by the former Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama―"
As the words fell,
Orochimaru suddenly raised his hands, forming hand seals at lightning speed, finally pressing his hands together!
Slap!
"Summoning Technique: Impure World Reincarnation!"
